词组 | neglect |
释义 | 1.neglect(动词)后面接不定式比接动名词普通,如 He neglected to reply to my letter 比 He neglected replying to my letter 普通。 2.your neglect to write the address 是“因为你的疏忽而不曾写地址”,your neglect in writing the address 是“因为你的疏忽而把地址写错或写得不好”。 3.neglect(名词)和 negligence 意思略有不同。neglect 往往有“该做而不做”的含意,如 neglect of duty(玩忽职守),negligence 往往有“经常不注意”的含意,是一种习惯或倾向,如 negligence in dress(不修边幅)。比较下面两句: His neglect of the notice cost him dearly.(他对于那通告的忽略使他吃了苦头。) His negligence used to cause his family much distress.(他的疏忽成性时常使他的家属受到许多痛苦。) |
